Contact 3-on-3 Floorball Challenge, 19 Jan 08

The 3-on-3 Floorball Challenge organized by Contact Sports on 19 January 2008 kicked off the start of the new year and signalled the start of a year chock-full of events and matches. More of a warm-up thing to raise anticipation and fuel passion, it was a good chance for teams to enjoy themselves and get a feel of winning.

Frontliners sent out five teams, and of the five, only (FH)2 was expected to get the gold. Two of the teams (Frontliners Gladiators and Frontliners Guppies) were made up of junior players, thus not much (not anything, really) was expected.

In the guys' matches, it was the Trojans who got the furthest, finally losing to Salibandy (eventual champions), with the Spartans falling earlier to Dalat, and the Gladiators leaving early after losing their first two matches.

As stated above, Salibandy emerged as champions, with Ztec Beta and Alpha coming in second and third respectively.

For the ladies, however, (FH)2 started strongly with a convincing win against Innebabes North, but Hailstorm (eventual champions) from USM proved to be too strong, winning twice against them to snatch the gold. Frontliners Guppies did not do too well, losing to Hailstorm and Innebabes North.

Congratulations to all who won, and "Well done" to everyone (especially the Frontliners) who played. Frontliners Floorball Club might not have done that well here, overall, but it's a long year ahead. Plenty of time to start winning those medals:)

Next stop, Penang League.
